OK, another linguistic question: People seem to use the term "implied nude" very loosely. To me, the logical assumption is that a model in an implied nude shot is NOT nude, but is made to appear nude. That is not, however, how people seem to use the phrase. So what does 'implied nude" mean to you? Can someone here point me to the quintessential implied nude?

The model may be in fact nude but not showing the parts the would put it in a nude category.

Hi!

Implied nude to me would be mean naked (but, covering up private parts).

Visit my port and you'll see what I mean.

Merry Christmas

"Implied nude," to me, means that the model most likely is nude, but since the "naughty parts" (nipples, pubic region, etc.) aren't showing - because she's covering them, or some kind of props are, or the lighting hides them - it's not "really" nudity. Like so:

https://img5.modelmayhem.com/061126/11/4569d21ab774e.jpg

I was topless for this shot, but you can't see my nipples, and for all you know, I had tape or bandaids or something over them. (Which a model could do if she were especially squeamish about showing her "stuff.") Hence, the nudity is "implied."

Hmmmm, this is what I mean and what I find confusing. Both of the models in the pictures posted are nude, if you ask me. Nothing implied about it. I guess people really mean "hidden nipples" or "hidden genitals." Doesn't matter. I was just curious. Maybe the term should be "coy nudes."

I had a thong on and posies (little flower sticky things that cover my nippels)

But neither the little flowers or the thong are in the picture, so they aren't really there, if you know what I mean....

I keep a pocket full of posies--just in case

I would say this is implied in my opinion. I was topless and had on a thong. The photographer edited out the thong string.

Implied to me means just that implied, where through the use of props etc....to hide the fact that the model is wearing clothing( not much clothing) to give the impression  or imply that the model is nude when in reality the model is not.  Images where the model is nude but covering or posing where one does not get a view of the private regions, in my opinion would fall under covered nude  of course this is only my view...

One could argue that the fact that you are wearing clothing and making it appear nude would qualify that as a cover nude rather than implied.  After all where is the nudity?

It's interesteding to see the semantics at play here. This is why I always take the oppotunity to define what these terms mean to me so that there is no confusion on what I'm asking. What want to be clear about what I'm asking the model to do.  It's thier job to say "yes" or "no." If they can't do what I need then I find someone that will.  I do not want to go beyond what the model is comfortable with shooting.

For me if it's a nude then you have to be nude. So for implied work, IMHO, you have to have something covering the genitals and (maybe) the nipples.

Here are my examples:

OK, thanks everyone. I've seen enough. Now I understand. I still say all these people are nude, but I understand now how people are using the phrase: "implied nude" just means nudes with the "naughty bits" (as Monty Python used to say) covered. I guess there are five implied nudes in my portfolio as posted here, 11 nudes, and one old dude. Thanks. Personally, I like the naughty bits.

Yeah, I was wondering that, too, but I didn't want to start one of those Mac-PC spats. Having said that, I can't imagine why anyone would actually CHOOSE to use a PC, except to run software that doesn't run on the Mac (of which there is little).

This is EXACTLY as I see it... Here's an example:

Implied nude = the model looks nude but you can't see all the parts... doesn't matter if she actually was or not, it's the fact that the image implies that there was nudity involved in the creation of said image. Nothing hard about that!

Sorry.. but you guys can't be more wrong..

im·plied     [im-plahyd]
–adjective
involved, indicated, or suggested without being directly or explicitly stated; tacitly understood: an implied rebuke; an implied compliment.

I can't see how you guys can use that word in the sense you are using it. You're talking about "faked" nudity.  Faked is different from implied.

An implied nude photo doesn't show any nudity (any more than a bikini does).. but the *implication* is that the model was nude on set.
